EuroAirport
Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg is the only completely bi-national airport in
the world. Situated entirely on French territory, the airport has a
Swiss customs sector connected to Basel via a customs road.
The French and Swiss Ministries of Transport serve as supervisory authorities, while the French Civil Aviation General Management (Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile, DGAC) is responsible for watching over the safety of our air space. The population of the tri-national region spanning Alsace, North-West Switzerland and South Baden considers the airport, which has the designating brand name "EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg", as their "home" airport. About 38% of local passengers come from France, as many from Switzerland, and 24% from Germany. |
